Northwest Chinese Academy (NWCA) purchased the current Faith Bible School campus in Aloha, Oregon. NWCA will be moving to the new campus this July 2018.

Located off of SW 170th and Tualatin Valley Highway at 16860 SW Blanton Street, Aloha, OR, the expansion has been a 10-year dream finally fulfilled.

“We are so excited to find our forever home. We love that our 3-acre campus is clustered near other schools like the International School of Beaverton and Aloha-Huber. The move westward will allow us to offer a Mandarin immersion education to the growing communities of Aloha and Hillsboro, while remaining very accessible to our Beaverton families,” says preschool parent and Advisory Board member Amber Guillory Richardson.

This move enables NWCA to double its capacity and provide up to 200 children with a lifechanging
education not offered anywhere else in the nation.

Dr. Shuhan Wang, Asia Society’s Center for Early Language Immersion Network Project Director, says that NWCA students “demonstrate high oral language and literacy skills in the Chinese language, one of the highest that I have observed among many Chinese immersion schools in the United States.”

Background:

Founded in July 2008, NWCA offers a 90/10 Mandarin Immersion program (90% curriculum in Chinese and 10% in English). NWCA’s mission is to set the standard of excellence in immersion education and to foster the total development and highest potential of each individual child.

Educators teach every subject—including art, music, and PE—in Mandarin. The only exception is English literacy. Every student is encouraged to interact in age-appropriate Mandarin Chinese at all times.

Children are recognized as active learners and are engaged in their learning through curiosity about their global community.

Recent Accomplishments:

• March 2018: 6 NWCA students traveled to Tianjin and Beijing China
• April 2018: 13 NWCA students received 16 awards at the annual Portland State University Confucius Institute language competition.
